CLI Quick
Configuration
By default, after you interconnect the switches with the dedicated VCPs and power on
the switches, the VCPs are operational. The mastership priorities and member IDs are
assigned by the software. To determine which switch has been selected as the master,
check the LCD on the front panel. It should be the first switch that you power on. The
backup should be the second switch that you power on. The other switches are all
linecards. Wait at least one minute after powering on the master, before continuing to
power on the other switches.
Step-by-Step
Procedure
To configure a multimember Virtual Chassis with default role assignments:
1.
Make sure the dedicated VCPs on the rear panel are properly cabled. See Virtual
Chassis Cabling Configuration Examples for EX4200 Switches for additional
information.
2.
Power on the switch that you want to function as the master (SWA-0). This
examples uses one of the larger switches (EX4200-48P) as the master.
3.
Check the front panel LCD to confirm that the switch has powered on correctly and
that a member ID has been assigned.
